2020 wind buyers guide TPI Composites TPI is a U.S.-based independent manufacturer of composite wind blades for the high-growth wind energy market supporting global wind turbine manufacturers. TPI operates composite products manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia. Their products provide high strength, light weight, and durability. TPI has over five decades of innovation and exper- tise in manufacturing large-scale composite structures of high quality at a competitive total delivered cost to their customers. www.tpicomposites.com Cable, Wire, & Conduit AerosUSA, Inc. AerosUSA offers a wide range of flexible polyamide non-metallic corru- gated conduits, galvanized steel and stainless steel metallic conduits, metal and nylon fittings, and cable gland strain relief cable glands. Their products are designed for numerous applications within the wind and renewable energy, transit, robotic, automation, marine, offshore, mining, industrial applications, and especially where power and data cables require dependable protection. www.aerosusa.com American Wire Group (AWG) American Wire Group (AWG) is a single solution for all types of electrical conduc- tors and hardware required to construct and maintain wind and renewable generation projects—for low, medium, and high-voltage applications. Save schedule time and costs with AWG’s ability to supply an entire project’s cable requirements from stock. AWG invento- ries 35-kV UL MV-90 and UL MV-105 Collection System Cables in aluminum conductor in all standard sizes, including 1/0, 4/0, 500, 750, 1000, and 1250 (available in both CN or CTS). All of AWG’s Collection System Cables carry a 20-year factory warranty, ensuring protection for the longevity of projects. AWG also invento- ries the following: fiber optic; copperclad steel grounding; bare copper; transmission cables; OPGW; static wire; low-voltage cables; control cables; and associated hardware. www.buyawg.com Cameron Wire & Cable, Inc. Cameron Wire & Cable provides LV, MV, and HV (Aluminum and Copper) wind tower, nacelle, and site cables. Cameron offers cost-effective pricing and high performance cables for all applications, and will customize the cable package, offering cut-to-length or bulk cables, accessories, labels, and lugs supplied in kits. They also offer inventory management and will warehouse planned goods at no charge, shipping the same day to satisfy tight job deadlines. www.cameronwire.com CTC Global CTC Global, in association with 30 interna- tional manufacturing partners, produces the High-Capacity, Low-Sag ACCC Conductor. The ACCC conductor carries twice the current of other bare, overhead conductors with 25% to 40% less line losses. The use of ACCC can help reduce upfront capital costs for the tie line, and improve the overall economics of the generation project—reduced line losses translate into more power delivered for any wind energy investment. www.ctcglobal.com HELUKABEL USA HELUKABEL provides wind power system expertise for the entire turbine, rotor tip to base. In the nacelle they provide control cables that are both oil (Oil Res I & II) and heat-resistant. Cables for the loop have been torsion tested in-house for up to 18,000 cycles. Finally, they manufacture flexible aluminum, copper, and fiber-optic cables for the tower section. Their wind cable products provide quality performance in climate conditions from -67°F up to 293°F (-55°C up to 145°C) for CCV and offshore applications. They have been internationally approved by UL (WTTC), CSA, CE, and VDE, and have passed the FT4 flame test. www.helukabel.com Petroflex N.A., Ltd Petroflex is an extruder of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) duct and acces- sories. PNA CableGuard is a solution for both domestic and international clean energy initiatives. They provide cable-in-conduit for control and cabling at both wind and solar farms. Long continuous run lengths of fiber optic cable duct, up to 14000' on 1"IPS, minimize splicing. Cable or fiber installed in conduit at the factory ensures additional protection before, during, and after installation. www.petroflexna.com Prysmian Group Prysmian Group offers an array of cables needed for wind turbines to generate, distribute and transmit energy from fiber optic and bare overhead conductors to EmPowr Link CL Advantage underground URD and wind-specific low-voltage power cable. Prysmian is positioned to rapidly respond to the needs of the evolving wind farm market with next-generation cabling systems. EmPowr Link CL Advantage is a cable for today’s solar and wind farm collection systems. Featuring enhanced, ruggedized installation protection, this cable has a reduced weight and diameter and XLPE jacket technology. Its efficient fault current protection provides reliability and performance. www.generalcable.com Component Supplier American Roller Bearing Company American Roller Bearing Company manufactures large bore (200mm to 2400mm) anti friction bearings, including tapers, cylindrical, spherical, and balls. They offer complete engineering services and expert repair on all types and brands. www.amroll.com Anderson Power Products Anderson Power Products SPEC Pak Connector Series are rugged and environmentally sealed (IP68) certified connectors made from PC, PC/ PBT material that is UL94 V-0 flame resistant. Available in wire-to-wire or wire-to-panel configurations that include either pin and socket or flat wiping contact technology. SPEC Pak connectors are intended for appli- cations that demand a waterproof high-power interconnect solution for power, ground, and signaling capabilities such as for use in wind power, solar, lighting, marine, agricultural, or off-road equipment applications. www.andersonpower.com 38 NOVEMBER•DECEMBER2019 /// www.nacleanenergy.com
